    Ding Yunyi's attitude was firm, which made Ding Biyue even more angry.

    I always feel like my younger brother has become a completely different person since he was forced to join the army by his father.  The younger brother in my previous memory was a coward who would listen to his family on everything; he was so timid that he couldn't even bear to step on an ant to death.

    But after joining the army, all this changed completely. Not only did he kill people, but he also dared to risk his life with so many pirates while being covered in wounds.  What is even more troublesome is that he is so stubborn on an issue as important as marriage.

    The only person to blame is his father. Why did he have to send his younger brother to join the army?

    Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Ye Yuan hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Madam, you go and have a rest first, and I will give Xiang Wen some advice."

    Ding Biyue snorted and stood up: "Xiang Wen, think it over for yourself. Not only me, but also my father and mother will never agree to this marriage."

    As soon as she left, Ding Yunyi and Ye Yuan looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

    "Brother-in-law, don't worry about my affairs." Ding Yunyi was the first to break the silence: "The done deal will be done by then, and they won't be able to do anything to me. November 18th is the day I have set, and I also invite my brother-in-law and sister to come for the wedding banquet."

    "I always try my best to persuade your sister." Ye Yuan sighed.

    Ding Yunyi smiled: "Brother-in-law is quite comfortable in the position of prefect?"

    Ye Yuan frowned at first: "Zheng Zhilong already knew about the relationship between you and me before I took office. Although he is polite on the surface, he always makes stumbling blocks in secret and makes things difficult at every turn."

    Ding Yunyi's brows also furrowed. Who would have thought that Ye Yuan would smile proudly: "But he, Zheng Zhilong, is too conceited and underestimates those of us who are accustomed to being officials in the capital. Although the localities are attracted to each other, is it not the same in the capital?  It¡¯s nothing more than trying to win over one faction, please another faction, and then attack another faction. Although Zheng Zhilong has great power, he doesn¡¯t have the final say in Fujian alone. There are also Fushuai forces and local forces, so he can¡¯t cover the sky with his own hands! "

    Ding Yunyi felt relieved.

    Thinking about it, Ye Yuan was able to get along well in the court. Even if the emperor knew about such a major corruption matter, there were so many officials protecting him.  Zheng Zhilong wanted to embarrass him and drive him away, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy.

    "You don't have to worry about my affairs, I know how to deal with Zheng Zhilong." Ye Yuan changed the subject: "I promised you in Penghu to recruit people for you, and now I have an idea, and I have recruited two hundred people for you.  people."

    "Two hundred people?" Ding Yunyi was surprised.

    He never thought that Ye Yuan could recruit 200 people for himself just after taking office and still trying his best to mediate with Zheng Zhilong.

    This ability is really impressive.

    When asked where the soldiers came from, Ye Yuan was somewhat mysterious at first: "One hundred of them were recruited by me from outside Quanzhou. Zheng Zhilong is very powerful in Quanzhou, can he still control the whole of Fujian? As for the other hundred people  "

    Ye Yuan lowered his voice: "They are the prisoners I recruited from the prison."

    "Prisoners in the prison?" Ding Yunyi was startled.

    ¡°My second brother-in-law is so brave that he actually recruited a group of prisoners.  If anyone knew about this, let alone Zheng Zhilong, would Zou Weilian let him go?

    "Xiang Wen doesn't need to worry." Ye Yuan was confident at first: "I, Mr. Ye, will not act recklessly or impulsively, and I will not play with my own bright future. In the past two years, there was great chaos in the Central Plains, and Jinlu repeatedly violated the territory, and even  The battle reached outside the capital. The emperor said that the emperor should guard the country, but he would not abandon the city and flee, so he recruited the people of the capital to defend the city. Worried about the lack of manpower, he released the prisoners in the prison and promised that if they could defend the city with all their strength, they would be able to repel the Jin.  If you are a captive, then except for the serious crime of treason, you will be pardoned until the golden captive retreats."

    Ding Yunyi also knew about this, and heard Ye Yuan continue to say: "Then the Jinlu did retreat, but the number of soldiers in various places was still insufficient. Today, an order was issued that each place can select prisoners from among the prisoners and add them to the army.  To make up for the shortage of personnel. Once the term of service is over, those prisoners will be exempted from the crime, and those who are willing to continue to serve in the army will stay in the army, and those who are not willing to go home to farm. "This order is still useful."

    Ding Yunyi felt relieved.

    ¡° Could it be that he would do such a thing? It turns out that he has already prepared a countermeasure.

    Ye Yuan was very proud when he said this: "These 100 prisoners were carefully selected by me. They are all strong and have some basic skills. As for their charges, it's okay to commit minor crimes, and it's okay to commit serious crimes."  It was changed to a misdemeanor, and their families were already hopeless. Suddenly they saw that it was changed to a misdemeanor.I can¡¯t thank you enough.  "

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s face showed a knowing smile.

    Ye Yuan originally did this to kill two birds with one stone. He not only helped himself, but also benefited from the family members of the prisoners, and was grateful to those people for the rest of his life.

    Seeing that his relatives had no hope of being released from prison, a "Master Qingtian" suddenly came. He only needed to serve for a few years to regain his freedom, and he was willing to give a sum of money.

    Ye Yuan originally made this transaction worthwhile.

    Ding Yunyi admired Ye Yuan's quick thinking: "Brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Yun Yi will thank you later. Where are these people now?"

    "I've already gathered myself together." Ye Yuan looked outside and said, "It's still early now. Would Xiang Wen want to come with me to take a look?"

    Ding Yunyi couldn't get what he asked for, so he agreed immediately.

    The place where Ye Yuan placed these people was not far from the magistrate's office. It took a few steps to get there. Seeing that the magistrate had arrived, the yamen guard at the door hurriedly opened the door and invited them in.

    Ye Yuan was indeed very powerful. As soon as he entered, all the smiles on his face disappeared and he said coldly: "Call those people out to me."

    The officer hurried in to urge him. Ye Yuan's expression changed again and he turned around and smiled: "Xiang Wen, this is how you should treat these people. You must not be polite at all, otherwise they will have to climb on your head."

    Ding Yunyi smiled, but he couldn't learn these skills by himself.

    After a while, a hundred prisoners were summoned. As Ye Yuan had said, they were all in their twenties and thirties. They were all very muscular and muscular.

    "That man beat up his neighbor for some trivial matter; that man is a private salt dealer." Ye Yuan pointed at the prisoners and introduced him to Ding Yunyi, then pointed to a person in the front row and said: "This man has some background.  One of them hit three, but not only did two of them run away, but one of them was seriously injured, and it was almost impossible to save him. "

    This sentence immediately caught Ding Yunyi's attention.
